A Prescription For Censorship

September 11, 1988

THE LOCAL fundamentalists are at it again. First it was the sinful lottery when they posted signs outside their churches during the last election, which was illegal. Now a religious movie. What is bad about it is that local governments, which are supposed to function under the United States Constitution, have succumbed to the dictates of a minority of noise-makers by imposing censorship on all the people in Titusville and Melbourne. The two mayors and city councils should be voted out of office for breach of their oath to comply with the Constitution.

If you want something done by mayors and city councils, here is a prescription for disaster to our democratic system.

Prescription: 1. Get a bunch of uneducated crybabies together. 2. Fill all the seats at city hall and make a lot of noise. Results? If the city officials are weak-minded or up for re-election, they'll do what you want.
